Usefulness of a standardized scleral buckling technique for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeRhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) requires timely treatment to prevent vision loss. Buckling surgery is a vital intervention; however, surgeon proficiency in buckling surgery is declining, and efforts are needed to preserve it. This study evaluated the efficacy of a standardized buckling surgical technique for primary RRD.
methodsIn total, 69 eyes were included. The technique involved placing #287 silicone tires in the retinal break regions with a 9-10-mm mattress suture positioned using the posterior edge of the rectus muscle insertion as a reference point. Circumferential buckling was performed using a silicone band (#240) and silicone sleeve (#270).
resultsThe 6-month follow-up showed an initial anatomical success rate of 92.8%, which reached 100% at the final follow-up. The mean best-corrected visual acuity was 0.16 ± 0.45 pre-operation and 0.05 ± 0.24 at the 6-month follow-up (p = 0.05).
conclusionThis technique utilizes the characteristics of the anatomical positional relationships between the scleral insertion of the lateral rectus muscle, which is reported to overlap with the vitreous base insertion, and the ora serrata and shows promise in identifying retinal breaks and determining buckling positions, indicating its potential effectiveness for the treatment of RRD. The favorable anatomical and visual outcomes support the potential usefulness of this technique in buckling surgeries.
